Team Tekin<\/a> factory driver Adam Drake is well known throughout RC racing all over the world. “The Drake” is best known for his consistent efforts in the 1\/8 Buggy scene. We take an in depth look into Adam’s TLR<\/span> <\/a>8ight E 1\/8 Electric E buggy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Drake’s signature paint scheme is easy to spot running around the track. Adam’s using the latest TLR <\/span><\/a>8ight 3.0 body on his 8ight E buggy wrapped up by Upgrade RC.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Look at the top with the body removed you can see Adam chooses a Tekin Rx8<\/a> and Tekin 1900kv T8<\/a> motor with a Tekno\u00a0Traktion Drive<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that Adam feels makes the car more forgiving to drive on the rough tracks he visits such as the Psycho Nitro Blast or Silver State. Adam changes between a 15T and 16T clutch\/pinion setup with a 48T metal spur depending on track size and layout.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Drake is also using a 4s 5400mah 35c “Sport” Thunder Power<\/span><\/a> pack for weight savings. When coupled to the Tekin Rx8<\/a> and T8 1900<\/a> motor, Adam’s 8ight E lacks nothing in the power department with this combination. This allows Drake to run a car that is close in weight to his nitro buggy which helps greatly in the setup department.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Thanks for checking out one of many upcoming “Under the Hoods” with the Team Tekin<\/a> factory squad!<\/div>\n
